It looks like Scott Hartnell (lower body) will indeed make his return on Wednesday.

Hartnell had been termed as a game-time decision, but the Predators have taken him off the injured reserve list. If he does play Wednesday night, his probable linemates are Colton Sissons and Austin Watson.

Brandon Dubinsky is expected to miss six-to-eight weeks with a fractured orbital bone.

In other words, Dubinsky is expected to be sidelined until late December or early January. He was hurt while fighting Edmonton's Zack Kassian on Tuesday. He has three goals and 12 points in 31 contests this season.

With this start, Lehtonen will set the record for the most games played by a Finnish goaltender. A victory on Wednesday would also make Lehtonen the 33rd netminder in history to reach the 300-win milestone.
